Helpful Score: 1

I truly loved this book. Eric McCandless/Alex Supertramp was an unusual soul but his story was amazing. Who hasn't, at some point in their life, longed to leave everything behind and start from scratch? It's just amazing that he did it. Yes, he was very naive and ignorant when he went "into the wild" but he lived his last couple of years without any regret.

The book is based on interviews with family members and friends and a lot is taken from the journal he kept. I also thought the movie was very comparable to the book.
